Perfect Fit
Methodology. 25%
of new (last 6 months) Bluelink clients have
had customization.
Bluelink will fix price the update of customization at
a percentage of the original custom fee (usually 20%). Blue Link is shifting away from customization to providing components that were initially customizations for one customer, but now are available to all customers.
Perfect Fit
Components. Blue Link has 15 different components including back order fulfillment, intercompany transfers, sales order accruals, commision management with complex commission calculations, and lot tracking.
Competitive pricing.
Bluelink is 25-40% less expensive than products with similar features
running under Microsoft SQL Server.
Access.
The front end/user interface is
built with Access.
Access provides a rapid application development
environment, and is integrated with Microsoft
office products. The system was developed from the
beginning for Windows.
Scalable for a small business system. Bluelink uses Microsoft SQL
Server as its database.
Distribution system includes RMA's, drill down to customer orders and
purchase orders, and landed cost.
Landed
cost: The system will allocate landed cost based on quantity,
dollars, weight, volume or a custom allocation. Variances between estimated and actual are tracked in a variance
account.
Executive dashboard shows key financial information at a glance.
Warehouse Fill Screens - Warehouse screens are optimized for warehouse
personnel. They only see the essential information and data is entered
with minimal keystrokes.
